This time we are heading to the jungles of Ecuador for another South American Adventure!

We are stoked to announce we have teamed up with a long established outfitter in Ecuador which combined with our international guiding experience means we can offer you the best rivers, food and logistics available as part of our Ecuador River Running Adventure!

Who is this trip aimed at?

We are aiming this trip at the intermediate/advanced level paddler who's comfortable paddling grade 3/4 whitewater.

We aim to paddle as many of the "classic" rivers as we can during this trip, and with the huge variety of whitewater available no two days need be the same! Given the quality of the rivers in the area though, the plan can be flexible to allow repeat days on some rivers if the group wants to revisit any favourite runs. Below we have a plan outlining how we'll spend the 12 days in Ecuador.

Accommodation:

During your time in Ecuador we will be staying in glamping cabins with the most comfortable bedding available in the jungle.

There are shared bathroom facilities close to your cabin with spacious showers and free Wi-Fi throughout. You will be sharing a room but as always we will make sure women and men are in separate rooms. If you would like to upgrade your accommodation to a private room + ensuite bathroom please contact us and we can quote you for this.
